Why then, everywhere else do they its led not lead.
The past tense and past participle of the verb lead(pronounced "leed") is led (pronounced exactly as it is spelled). However, many people write such incorrect sentences as these: "In the past, I lead a very sheltered life," "During the Civil War, Robert E. Lee lead the Southern armies," and "I am sorry to say that I have lead many an innocent young lady into temptation." In all three, the correct verb is led.
The "lead" that is pronounced "led" (a homophone of the verb led - i.e., with the same sound but different meaning) refers to a metal and is used as a noun (It is made of lead) or an adjective (We use lead pipes).
